‘I am very happy to be here. It’s a dream come true and I’m happy,’ said Xhaka.

‘I remember when I was young and the first game I watched was in the Premier League. It’s a big dream for me and now that I’m here I am very, very happy.

‘I like the style of football [in the Premier League]. It’s aggressive and I like the way Arsenal play football. It’s not like other countries but it’s very, very nice here.’

The midfielder was one of Switzerland’s best players in the Euro 2016 with three man of the match displays and the Gooners are already looking forward to watching the midfielder turn out in style at the Emirates next season.
